Broad City celebrated Season 2 with the screening of the finale at the 92Y Tribeca. The stars, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer hosted a spectacular evening screening episodes intermixed with live comedy and followed by an awesome dance party.

Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer

In the intimate setting, Abbi and Ilana shared their reservations in making this series about their exaggerated personalities which, after watching them live on stage together, were not actually much different from what you see on the show. They also spoke about the talented people who have helped them to put the series together including actors, directors, editors, musicians, and technical support and how they couldn’t thank them enough.

Kristen Schaal, of Simpsons fame, made an appearance on stage with her jokes about finding astonishment in real world situations including pulling out a pair of real Sally Jesse Raphael glasses that a former Production Assistant on the show gave her.

Surprise cameo by Amy Poehler in the finale!

The premise of the finale is a chase that leads the girls through the west village in search of something unknown to the viewer till the end but the biggest surprise is Amy Poehler‘s appearance in finale (along with Kristen Schaal). Sorry if I spoiled the surprise before fans of the show could watch it online, but it is so amazing. Best part – Amy tells the girls to live their dreams.

with Director TJ Misny

In addition to the amazing cameos, the finale was the best episode ever because of its self-referential moments and homages to great films. It was directed by TJ Misny. Ilana noted that this was a full three-day shoot where people would ask, “What is this?” and Ilana would yell back, “Broad City, BITCHES!!!”

And finally, we were graced by this performance with highlights including the song entitled, “Pizza Party.”

All in all, I laughed and laughed and laughed and all in awe of the amazing work by these talented women.

One response to “Broad City Season 2 Finale at 92 Y Tribeca”

Thanks so much for inviting me to this. I’m usually lazy on the Internet and thus shy away from video that takes too much of my life away… but this was worth it! Now that I’ve seen it IRL, I’m much more likely to click “play” on the web.
